Sean Tubbs

Sean Tubbs moved to Charlottesville in 2002 and has since sought to understand why development occurs the way it does.

In addition to writing a C-VILLE Weekly column on real estate, Tubbs is also the person behind Town Crier Productions, which seeks to rebuild journalism for the rest of the 21st Century.
